    Contains scenes of brilliance, interrupted by scenes that meander. There is too much, too many characters, too many subplots. But there is so much here that is powerful that it should be seen no matter its imperfections.

    Even in a film that clocks in at a quasi-epic 2 hours and 40 minutes, that's just too much narrative. And matters aren't helped by the fact that Lee, who has never staged battle sequences before, hasn't quite got the rhythms or camera angles right.

    Odd too, for a film that wants to correct impression anyone had as to the abilities of black U.S. soldier in combat, are the ethnic cliches about Italians and Germans, to say nothing of rednecks.

    It is sad that some movies are rated poorly simply because people do not understand the idea. I agree that the movie doesn't mix well and it needed more action rather than boring scenes but in the end you might fully grasp the point this movie is trying to make. I would give this movie an 8 honestly, but due to the awful and ignorant reviews from certain inept people out there I will give it a 10 as my score.… Expand

    Solid acting by the cast. The huge flaw of this film is that it took an extremely long time to get into and it was insanely boring. The last half hour or so was really good but it didnt make up for the borefest before that. I wish it was shorter, Would have been a lot better with a smaller run time.… Expand

    Good start to the movie but after the shocking begining, the rest of the movie is a bore fest. First and for most, horrible acting! I can9;t emphasize that enough, the bad acting was so distracting and I thought the sets in Italy looked fake. This movie totally lost me and it was painful to sit through. Way too much melodrama for me. Come on Spike, pick it up!… Expand
